A rare magnitude 5.9 earthquake originating Northwest of Richmond, VA was felt over most of the east coast. "The key to budget travel is to approach in front. When it happens to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the actuality of expense and budgeting is often in the back of our minds. Arranging and consuming our travel budget wisely is a main concern for most families. Curbing consuming and prices, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed accomplishment and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking regarding saving money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal finances is highly tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, no matter whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel expenses!..". Various sources are reporting that government and other buildings in New York and Washington, DC were briefly evacuated.

In the Baltimore area, the earthquake was widely felt with noticeable shaking of structures all over the region. There has been some disruption of cell phone service and land lines are affected as well, if only because of the high volume of calls in the aftermath of the event.

The U.S. Geological Survey warns of possible aftershocks, as is typical after an earthquake.

If you are experiencing an aftershock, the part of a structure providing the most protection is a door jamb. The best advice is to brace yourself in a door jamb until the shaking stops.
